The purpose of fog lights is to provide optimal illumination of the road when driving in fog. Therefore, many car owners use PTF to protect themselves while driving in bad weather. From this material you can learn how to install fog lights on a VAZ 2114 car and how to connect the optics correctly.

Installation methods

There are three methods to install fog lights on a VAZ 2114:

1. Buy a special tuning bumper in which PTFs are already installed. As a rule, the production of such bumpers is carried out by specialized tuning studios, where they can also be connected. This procedure is not cheap.
2. Install on the “four” bumper from the 15th VAZ model with the VAZ headlights available for mounting seats. All you have to do is buy a set of lights and install them yourself.
3. Purchase fog lights for a VAZ 2114 with so-called glasses - facing components for the lights, and install them. This method will be discussed in more detail.

The fog light kit includes lamps, activation relays, necessary wires and a connection button. The kit should also include a connection plug. When buying new PTFs, you need to take into account their shape, otherwise difficulties may arise in terms of installing the optics. As reviews show, the most the best option for the “four” is the purchase of optics from the manufacturer “Kirzhach” (the author of the video is the CAR LIFE GENDOLH BELIY channel).

Headlight installation

How to connect fog lights? The installation and connection procedure is described in detail below. Let’s make a reservation right away - if necessary, you can install xenon lamps in the fogs. Xenon in PTF will burn much brighter when compared with traditional incandescent lamps, but its cost will be an order of magnitude higher. Since the bumper on the VAZ 2114 does not have appropriate places for installing fog optics, the car owner will have to make them on his own.

All work on installing optics is carried out on the dismantled bumper. If you don’t know how to remove this body element, then you just need to unscrew the fasteners that secure it. The bumper itself needs to be cleaned; it is advisable to install it at the level of the lower air intake, under the headlight optics. Installation of lights must be done in specially designated places on the bumper - the so-called glasses.

These glasses must be marked in accordance with the dimensions of the optics themselves, after which the corresponding holes must be made in the bumper. The holes are cut using a jigsaw, and it is advisable to sand the sharp edges on them with sandpaper or a file. The PTF should fit into the hole as tightly as possible, so they must be securely secured with clamps. When the installation of the optics is completed, the bumper can be put back on the car.

Connecting PTF and control keys

How to connect the device and the power button? As we have already reported, the kit should include a diagram that can be understood without any problems. First of all, it is necessary to install the wiring into a block with fuses located in the engine compartment. Unscrew the block fixing screws and find the pads Ш7 and Ш8.

It is necessary to connect the wiring and the relay that comes with the kit to these blocks, the diagram is as follows:

1. The cable from connector 87 is a ground that is connected to the body.
2. Exit 85 should go directly to Sh7.
3. Pins 30 (to 8) and 86 (to 1) are connected to connector Ш8.

Not far from the block it is necessary to select a place where the relay will be mounted. The PTF connection diagram is not particularly complicated - to turn them on, a special button must be used, which is mounted in the cabin. There is a special place for mounting this button on the center console. Under the panel there is a special block that must be connected to the key, then the panel is mounted back.

To check the functionality of the optics, you need to turn on the dimensions, after which the fog lights are activated. When turned off, the PTFs should also turn off automatically. If the lights do not light up after connecting, this may be due to either incorrect connection, or inoperative relays, or failed lamps.

Fog lights (FTL) used to perform one function - they provided visibility when driving in fog. But when turning on the lights during the daytime became mandatory, PTF had a new application (applies to cars that do not have DRLs). Until recently, fog lights were domestic cars How additional option, while foreign cars are initially equipped with such a safety element. The VAZ 2114 car has PTF only on trim levels starting from Luxury.

It is also possible to install fog lights on VAZ cars. And this needs to be done, because when driving through fog or snow, fog lights are very helpful.

Installation of PTF is carried out in two ways:

• Put new bumper with cutouts for additional optics.
• Cut the holes on the stock bumper yourself.

To install this type of optics, the following elements are required:

1. Fog lights, many motorists choose the option with xenon.
2. Installation components - button, wires, main relay and fuse.
3. Tool for creating a hole for PTF or a new front bumper.

Electronics Installation Instructions

First you should consider the wiring installation diagram, since it does not change depending on the choice of installation (new bumper or “editing” the old one). If there is no space in the bumper for such optics, then dashboard There is a hole that is covered by a plug.

The process is as follows:

1. First of all, you need to install the button. The photo shows the location for this button.
2. To get to the connection point, the grille must be removed. Behind it there is a speaker, which also needs to be unscrewed. There will be two connectors in front of the motorist: one is for the power-on indicator, and the second is for starting the PTF.
3. After dismantling the grille, you need to remove the plug and put the button from the kit in its place. The plugs are plugged into the connectors – you can’t go wrong here. After this, the grille and speaker return to their original positions.
4. All tasks are done in the cabin, you can go under the hood. To access the connectors of interest, you must remove the fuse box, which is also known as the “black box”.
5. The next step will be to run the wires from the relay and PTF to the black box.
6. The mounting block has unoccupied connectors, one of them is Ш7 (wide connector) and Ш8 (narrow connector). Using the diagram as a guide, you need to connect the terminals to the required connectors.
7. Now Ш8 and Ш7 with their free side return inside the safety block.
8. The fog lights are almost installed, just need to be returned mounting block in its place and attach the relay to the body of the VAZ 2114. It is necessary to place a ground wire (grounding) under the same mount, stripping this piece of the body from the paintwork.
9. Now the fog lights need to be connected to the power wiring. The grounding wire must be installed compactly, where nothing will interfere with the contact with the body of the VAZ 2114.

Installation of fog lights

The easiest way (but will also be more expensive) is to install a new bumper, which initially has holes for the DRLs. The owner of a VAZ 2114 needs to dismantle the old bumper - remove the fastenings at the top and bottom, and install a new one in its place. To cut holes on a standard bumper, you will need an electronic drill with special attachments or a simple jigsaw, as well as glasses. The process goes like this:

1. The bumper is removable, you need to apply markings for optics on it under a stencil.
2. Next, work is carried out with a jigsaw or drill.
3. When the holes are ready, “glasses” are mounted in them, which are needed to close the cutout. The “glasses” consist of two parts – internal (attached to the bumper from the outside) and external (perform a decorative function).

Helpful advice: the installation should be as reliable as possible, since the fog lights are susceptible to strong vibration and shaking. This is especially true for broken road surfaces, which the car travels on quite often. The more reliably the PTFs are fixed, the longer they will serve the owner of the VAZ 2114.

Great clear example for installing PTF

Fog lights (FTL) are an optics unit that can be located either as an assembly with the main headlight of the car, or placed separately - most often at the edges of the bumper. Fog lights are designed to illuminate the side of the road and the road in heavy weather conditions: when the rays of low and high beam are reflected against the thickness of the fog, thereby creating a wall of light in front of the car, then fog lights give a flat and wide beam that spreads exactly above the road so as not to illuminate the fog itself. In addition to illuminating your way in difficult weather conditions, fog lights also help make you more visible to other participants. traffic.

There are also rear fog lights - but, as a rule, these are ordinary red lights, the same as side light, but 2-3 times brighter.

The “luxury” versions of Samar 2114, 2113, 2115 are equipped from the factory with front PTFs, which are located at the edges of the bumper.

The owners standard equipment– the front PTFs are installed with your own hands, and we’ll look at how to do this below.

Articles dedicated to PTF

If your car does not have foglights, then you can buy an installation kit and install the headlights yourself, while leaving the original bumper

In Samara there are 3 types of PTF + suitable analogues. The question arises, which ones shine better?

Today the market is full of fakes for PTF Kirzhach, because... it is considered the best among other competitors. Therefore, before purchasing, it is important to be able to distinguish a fake from the original.

Where to look and where to look for the cause of the malfunction if your fog lights do not work.

What kind of lamps are needed for fog lights (PTF)?

Since there are several types of PTF, you need to know in which case to use certain lamps.

The most commonly used lamps are h3 and h1 sockets. The original PTF "Kirzhach" has a base h1. Bosch - have h3 base.

How much do fog lights cost on a VAZ 2114?

Standard fog lights for a VAZ cost about 500 rubles. As for analogues from Hella and other manufacturers, the price rises to 1000 rubles or more.

The vehicle lighting system consists of a set of instruments and signaling devices that are located inside and outside. PTF or fog lights are included in the lighting system of most modern cars.

The vehicle lighting system consists of a set of instruments and signaling devices that are located inside and outside. PTF or fog lights are included in the lighting system of most modern cars. The VAZ 2114 model is no exception. But most of the cars of the model in question leave the assembly line without PTF. The only exceptions are cars with an expensive configuration.

Considering that the vast majority of car owners purchase the model in basic configuration, there is a need to establish PTF 2114 on your own.

To equip your vehicle additional system lighting can be used in several ways, the choice of which depends on financial opportunities and the desires of the car owner.

Way	Peculiarities
Buying a bumper with built-in PTF	Such bumpers are bought at a tuning studio, where everything will be connected and connected for you. The disadvantage of this option is the high cost
Buying a bumper from a VAZ 2115 and installing it yourself	To do this, you will have to buy a bumper from an older model, which has holes for fog lights. All that remains is to find a suitable set of PTFs and install them
Purchase of PTF and facing elements - glasses	Today this method is used most in demand, because it allows you to do the installation yourself for little money

The fog light kit includes:

• incandescent lamps;
• relay;
• wires;
• power button;
• circuit diagram and optics itself.

When purchasing, it is recommended to pay attention to lighting corresponded to the facing elements. Currently, expensive VAZ models are equipped with headlights rectangular shape manufacturer "Kirzhach". It is these that the owner of the 14th model recommends choosing.

Some motorists are thinking about installing xenon. Is it worth doing? The answer will be negative. The main task performed fog lights, consists of illuminating the road directly in front of the vehicle, no more than 15 m. Please note: not a single automaker uses xenon lamps in PTF. The problem is that xenon disrupts focusing. Standard headlights are unable to dissipate xenon luminous flux. All this leads to refraction of rays and blinding other road users.

Xenon really gives more light, especially if you use cheap ones Chinese fakes. Standard PTFs with xenon scatter light across the entire plane, creating the illusion of light and blinding other drivers.

It is important to remember that the use xenon lamps in fog lights violates GOST standards.

Interesting fact: in Germany for turning on PTF In case of good visibility, a fine of more than 100 euros is imposed. Moreover, in in this case We are talking exclusively about standard lamps, without xenon. Therefore, it is recommended to immediately abandon this option.

If the car owner wants to achieve powerful light, then there is a more practical solution. Before how to connect system, you need to install xenon lamps in the bottle cap, and then directly in the headlights. This approach will allow better illumination road surface at night and in poor visibility. At the same time, the light beam will not blind oncoming drivers.

Sometimes even a bottle cap does not help focus xenon light streams. Therefore, oncoming cars continue to remind the driver of strong lighting. In this case, it is better to abandon your idea and use traditional lamps.

The work can be divided into several stages, starting with installation and ending with performance testing. Let's look at the installation procedure on the bumper. In this case, the bumper does not have holes for placing optical devices. Therefore, you need to do them yourself.

For work you will need: a tape measure, a marker, as well as a file and a drill with a set of drills.

to install fog lights for VAZ 2114 using this method, the car owner will need to remove the bumper and clean it of dirt.

• determine the landing ledge;
• cut a hole of the appropriate size in the bumper;
• process the cut surface with a file;
• install the outer part of the glasses into the holes;
• secure structures with bolts;
• install decorative glasses and then the bumper.

It is recommended to pay attention to the fact that the glasses have two halves - external and internal. Used for installation inner part glasses, and the outer one is a decorative element. Therefore, a small protrusion is provided in the inner part.

A wiring diagram is provided for each fog light system. It is characterized by simplicity. Therefore, even a novice motorist will be able to complete all the work without any problems. To connect you will need a mounting block located on the right side engine compartment. You need to remove the block cover and find the pads with the abbreviations Ш7 and Ш8. They are connected to the relay and headlights.

Will help you get the job done Installation diagram of fog lights on a VAZ 2114, which is included in the PTF kit.

The diagram shows that wire 87 needs to be connected to ground. The second wire 85 is connected to block Ш7 and connector 17. The wire from the relay number 30 goes to block Ш8.

The right and left PTF are connected to connectors 2 and 3 of the Ш8 block. Now you need to install the block into the mounting block, and then find appropriate place for relay.

At the next stage, the car owner needs to install a button. The button is also supplied with the PTF kit and is intended for installation on a vehicle panel.

Since the manufacturer produces cars equipped with fog lights, there is a special place on the panel for mounting the button in question. To do this, you will need to remove the panel and find the corresponding block. Connection takes little time and is intuitive.

If you adhere to the connection diagram in question, then the fog optics will function only after the dimensions are turned on. Therefore, first you need to include the dimensions, and then, PTF button. If the owner of a VAZ 2114 turns off the headlights, the PTF should go out, even if the fog light button is turned on.

PTF are playing important role in vehicle equipment. Thanks to them, the road surface is better visible at night, as well as during heavy rainfall and fog.

At the same time, fog lights improve the visibility of the vehicle for other road users. Therefore, experts recommend installing them not only in front, but also in the rear.

It is necessary to understand that the task of the PTF is not to illuminate the road. Therefore, you should not use xenon, which can blind other drivers and cause a traffic accident.

You also need to consider high temperature incandescent xenon lamps. There are known cases where, during rain, headlights cracked due to temperature changes. Therefore, PTFs should simply light up and ensure road safety.

Hello dear motorists. The topic of today's article is fog lights on the VAZ 2114. I will tell you secrets that are not in any instructions or operating manual. How, without the help of an electrician, to restore or even improve the characteristics of these lighting devices, so necessary for traffic safety in difficult weather conditions.

Equipping a VAZ 2114 car with fog lights is an optional condition of operation. Some configurations are produced without them with plugs on front bumper. Therefore, in the event of a malfunction or impossibility correct adjustment, you can undergo an annual technical inspection with the headlights removed. But you won’t be able to pass it when the light bulb is not lit or it is non-standard. Broken glass headlights - a malfunction that allows you to find fault with technical condition car.

Do-it-yourself repair or installation

Replacing a light bulb is not difficult, but installing new glass to replace a broken one is impossible without dismantling the headlight. The fastening to the bumper is elementary, with only two screws, but the glass is firmly glued to the headlight body.

When replacing it, the junction with the body is filled with sealant. By the way, it is better to change the glass immediately after a crack appears on it, otherwise the coating applied to the body quickly peels off and you have to buy new device. The video or set of photos on how to change a headlight or light bulb on this page will help you, but I ask you to pay attention to some points:

1. Install in fog light Xenon is needed with caution. If the low beam intensity is set in GOST to its minimum values, then there is a limitation for fog lights. It should be approximately 3 times weaker than the worst devices.
2. You can cut rectangular holes in the plastic bumper with an ordinary knife. It’s also easy to build beauty frames. Therefore, buying and installing such headlights yourself is not difficult. But if the car wiring does not provide for their connection, then it is better to contact specialists.
   According to the rules, it is impossible to connect fog lights to the simplest toggle switch. They should light up only after switching on side lights. Where is the relay that implements this sequence of turning on the lights in practice, and how to connect the headlights to electrical diagram, an auto electrician knows much better than a simple car enthusiast. There is a button for turning on the fog lights on the instrument panel, but connecting wires to it is a labor-intensive process that requires certain qualifications. In addition, being too clever with the wiring can lead to a short circuit, and repairs, in this case, will cost much more.

Difficult to adjust

The VAZ 2114 does not provide for adjustment of fog lights, even in cars equipped with them. If on new cars there are problems when passing technical inspection does not occur, then after several years of operation (the front bumper touching foreign objects or bumps is inevitable on our roads), the direction of the light beam ceases to comply with GOST.

The only way is to install gaskets, overlays or other devices that change the angle of the light flux or its direction relative to the plane of the road. It is impossible to carry out this operation without a special stand. Having some knowledge, you can draw some semblance of such a stand on your garage door and independently adjust not only the fog lights, but also the low or high beam.

Types of fog lights

Warning of other road users is carried out by the rear fog lights, the installation of which is mandatory for everyone Vehicle. The main task of front lighting devices is to provide visibility to the driver in difficult weather conditions.

However, turning them on along with the low beams at night significantly improves visibility. Diffused light perfectly illuminates the sides of the road. Sometimes even high beam doesn't give such a good effect. However, some drivers prefer to install lens foglights, preferring more directional illumination of the road and the ability to travel without high beams.

Which ones are better? It's up to you, but in the rain reflected from wet asphalt light blinds oncoming drivers. I don't think anyone wants head-on collision due to his foppishness. In accordance with clause 19.4 of the Traffic Regulations, fog lights are allowed to be used during the day instead of low beams, therefore the use of weaker bulbs in them is much more economical than the use of more often burned out and expensive bulbs in the main headlights.
